Description of the problem | The defective fuel lines rubbed together and caused a leak. I paid a local dealership about $1100 dollars to replace the fuel lines as it was unsafe. My vehicle is not under a recall but in researching, it was discovered that others have a recall. I opened an incident with chevrolet as a defect but they were not able to assist as my truck is over 70k miles and pasted the warranty, the fuel lines are next to the catalytic converter and would have caused a fire. |
